Chapter 390: The Opponent's Plot
In order to continue to verify, Ma Fei asked Cai Zhuoya to come forward and made an appointment with Wei Shan to meet.
Wei Shan's explanation is very simple: "There is no way, the cooperation between our newspaper and the copyright company has officially begun! After I hand over the pictures to the editorial department, they will upload them to the copyright company, and I don't know how they will play them later." ”
Cai Zhuoya couldn't get angry and asked: "Why didn't you say it earlier? Now, your copyright company sues our newspaper for infringement and has to pay a lot of money!"
Wei Shan spread his hands: "Beauty, what kind of attitude do you have? Unload the mill and kill the donkey, right? At that time, I helped you take pictures, you were happier than anyone else! Now that something has happened, you will blame me?"
Ma Fei interrupted the quarrel between the two: "Mr. Wei, you should know very well that there will be risks in doing this, and you should also know that Xiao Cai, as a newcomer, doesn't know the doorway here, but you still did it." Even if the first time is to take what you need, what about the second time?"
Wei Shan was a little embarrassed by this analysis, and argued: "I ...... I saw that she was beautiful, and I wanted to take the opportunity to set it up, but it was almost impossible, how did I know that the copyright company would do such a thing?"
This explanation, if it is for ordinary people, may be confused.
But Ma Fei's eyes were like torches, and he quickly exposed the other party's lies through the heart probing technique.
"I don't think so, right?" Ma Fei tried to break through Wei Shan's mask based on the information obtained, "Given the competitive relationship between our two newspapers, it's hard for me not to think like this - Mr. Wei followed the instructions of his superiors and specially created these two 'coincidences', leaving the risk to Miss Cai and our newspaper, which can not only damage our reputation, but also disrupt our copyright cooperation plan, right?"
Indeed, the actual author of those pictures is Taweishan, so he has irrefutable copyright.
In view of his employment relationship with Amagi Business Daily, after the latter transferred the copyright to the copyright company for a fee, the copyright company certainly has the right to claim for infringement.
There is no flaw in the whole logical chain!
At the same time, through Cai Zhuoya's operation, everyone in the Metropolis Daily was in the dark, thinking that the photo was taken by her, so she published it in the newspaper without any worries, and by the way, it was also sent to the copyright company she cooperated with.
This is good, the act of publishing the newspaper directly constitutes infringement, and it can be expected that the copyright company may come to them for trouble......
Through Wei Shan's psychological activities, Ma Fei was surprised to learn that this was a carefully planned bureau of the Business Daily.
I heard that Metropolis Daily has also begun to follow up on the development of picture copyrights, and the business newspaper, which is at the forefront of the industry, naturally wants to have one less competitor. With such a plan, the level of risk is almost equal to zero, and it is certainly worth a try!
However, in the face of doubts, although Wei Shan's heart was tight, he still smiled cheekily: "If Mr. Ma wants to say this, we have nothing to talk about!
Cai Zhuoya suddenly became anxious: "What do you mean?
She knew that she had stabbed the basket, and now it seemed that it was difficult to solve it, and she felt guilty and scared in her heart, and it was difficult to control her emotions when she heard Wei Shan turn around and scold.
Wei Shan's neck stiffened: "Don't talk nonsense! When I helped you, you smiled, and now that there is a problem, you want to throw the responsibility on me? No way!"
Wei Shan got up to leave, and Cai Zhuoya subconsciously wanted to hold him.
Ma Fei stopped her: "Forget it, it's just a pawn, and we can't get anything out of it with him." ”
As he spoke, he said to Wei Shan: "Mr. Wei, you and I know very well what the truth is, I put my words here, you listen to it - my Ma Fei has always had revenge, whether it is against me or my subordinates, as long as you dare to do it, I will dare to pay it back!"
Wei Shan pretended to snort indifferently: "I don't understand what you're saying!"
"Hehe, you don't have to understand, go back and tell your leader, he can understand!"
After seeing Wei Shan, Ma Fei finally had a number in his heart: since the matter was a bureau planned by the people of the Business Daily, the problem was a little complicated now.
First of all, at the level within the metropolis newspaper, in the face of his superiors, he must come up with an explanation. But the actual situation is that Cai Zhuoya was tricked, and if you really want to talk about it, she is indeed suspected of illegal operations.
If they report it truthfully, will Lu Yiming be considerate? Will they feel that this is a business newspaper trick, so they can be open to their own people?
Of course, Ma Fei would not have this illusion - Lu Yiming and they had so easily found an opportunity to make waves, how could they give up so easily?
I'm afraid that in addition to pursuing the liability for infringement and compensation, I also have to put on a hat that gives competitors an opportunity to take advantage of, right?
Secondly, at the level of the Business Daily, Ma Fei is treated so arrogantly today, of course this tone is unbearable. But after all, it is another system, and it is difficult for me to fight back by conventional means.
After thinking about it, Ma Fei could only come to one conclusion in the end: Okay! Since Lu Yiming and the people in the business newspaper are looking forward to making a big fuss, then I will start from the root cause and let their hopes be disappointed!
To put it bluntly, all they hope for is for the copyright company to succeed in the claim, or to take the newspaper directly to court, so is there a way to stop this?
Since there is an element of oolong in this matter, can we find a way to talk to this company, postpone their claim appeal, or even cancel the plan?
However, just as Ma Fei was about to start studying the feasibility, Chai Peng's phone called in again, and he came up to ask him about the progress of the matter.
Ma Fei smiled: "Assistant Chai is urging me, but the three days have not yet arrived!"
Chai Peng denied it again and again: "Brother, I want to quietly report to you!"
Just as Ma Fei hesitated, he then revealed: "I heard that the people of the Business Daily are playing tricks on this matter, and their purpose must be to sabotage the copyright development of the newspaper's pictures!"
Hearing this, Ma Fei was secretly surprised: This guy is so kind?
"That's why they picked a newcomer to start, but I didn't expect to pick someone ......from your department," Chai Peng sighed with emotion, "Now Pang Dong and Lu Yiming both know about it, but according to my observation, they all want to put this pot on your head, you have to be careful!"
For a while, Ma Fei was a little confused. Judging from Chai Peng's performance these days, it is indeed difficult to distinguish whether he is friend or foe.
But if you really treat him as your own, it seems a bit far-fetched - now his reminder actually doesn't mean much to Ma Fei, who knows if he calculated the right time to put some scrap out to interfere with his vision?
